City, state and county taxes aggregate more than $600,000 a year. The tax cost of doing business in the city has reached beyond the limit it should for a city of this size. The Tribune admits that it would be wise economy to dis- pense with the present horse driven fire apparatus, but for $1500 or $2,000 a truck can be secured and the present fire equipment transported on that. The salvage from the sale of the horses and wagon can be applied on a truck purchase. This mat- ter can be handled easily out of the general budget. Sufficient repairs to the pest house can be made without recourse to a bond issue. An incinerator is of doubtful value at this time and \there is no pressing need.
